Got this one jussnow:

Dear Professor,

The below website does not allow us to insert IF-THEN loops. The message is as below:

Question Visibility
NOTE: Question visibility can only be changed for Corporate Accounts and above

We are unsure as to what website we can use. Kindly help us with this. Thank you.

Regards,
N

My response:

Hi N,

Its not ‘question visibility’ that yields SKIP logic. There’s a blue button called ‘Page logic’. Click that. Then select ‘Conditional Jump’ and specify the option of the question you want to jump from and the page number to jump to.

Websurveys are organized along ‘pages’. A bunch of questions (or sometimes only 1) question can be placed on a ‘page’. SkIPS are made to pages.

Try it and lemme know if it works.

In fact this is what it looks like this: (images uploaded, click to visit and then enlarge)
test survey has 3 questions - 1 on each page. I use answers to Q1 to skip to either page 2 or 3

Click the 'Page Logic' blue button to get to the following page. There, select "Conditional Jump" and so on. See below picture.

screen camp of how the skip logic is coded

Hope that helped.

"Hello Sir,

I have a few doubts regarding the project.

1) In the project scope document, you have said that we need to find the current market shares and trends in shares? Should we do this via a the survey by asking the respondents on the car they own or is it that we take this directly from the secondary data like the Crisil Auto sector report?
2) In case we use the survey method for determining the current market shares, should we try to find the market shares for individual car brands like Maruti Alto, Hyundai Santro etc or should we do it for umbrella brands like Maruti, Hyundai etc?
3) Also the project scope document asks us to find the brand perceptions for the five top selling brands in India. Here also, should we try to find the market shares for individual car brands like Maruti Alto, Hyundai Santro etc or should we do it for umbrella brands like Maruti, Hyundai etc?

Thanks and regards,
S"

My response:

Hi S,

1. Use the secondary data to obtain current mkt shares.
2. Redundant. Just collect data on present and past cars – some sorta switching matrix we could then get, perhaps.
3. Car brand would have to be both the corporate marquee and the model name. So ‘Maruti Alto’ is a car brand, not merely Maruti.

Hope that clarifies.

Shall put this up on the blog for wider dissemination.
